To my untrained eye I get: Logs, a graph of when in time the bug happened over multiple runs and a statistical analysis which part of the application code could be invovled. The statistical analysis is nice but it is completely flat, without any hierarchical relationships making it quite hard to parse mentally.
I kind of expected more context to be provided about inputs, steps and systems that lead to the bug. Is it expected to then start adding all the logging/debugging that might be missing from the logs and re-run it to track it down? I hoped that given the deterministic systems and inputs there could be more initial hints provided.
From all that I have read, file-size is a major part of cold-starts as your zip needs to be fetched internally first so there is some app size where increasing the files by pre-parsing might make it slower and only after a certain size would it make sense. Edit: Sorry, you were talking about the runtime, not the app bundle, just realized this now. If it‘s in the runtime it probably is free as that will probably be available in all lambda hosts I guess.
Lambda already has an even more aggressive optimization than just pre-parsing, which they call SnapStart; where it takes a RAM snapshot after init and loads that afterwards but I think it‘s inly available in some regions and some runtimes like Java with very slow cold start times.
I am also a bit surprised they chose a bechmark that includes network latency as well.
Also the 1.5s NodeJS cold-start seems quite high and is not what I would expect at all. Especially when looking at https://maxday.github.io/lambda-perf/
The SDKs are "bundled" in all lambda runtimes but normally not into the binary, what additional performance would that bring?
I never really understood why the Oracle/Enterprise version of GraalVM has better performance (also advertised) compared to the CE version. Is there any fundamental difference?
I had the exact same issue and figured out how to solve it:
(from a previous HN comment I left) The issue can be resolved as follows (Windows 10): Windows Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Preferred Languages -> Order it so that "English (United States)" is at the top
I previsouly had "English (Switzerland)" at the top. This order influences the "Apps & websites" setting at the top there.
With "English (Switzerland)" my section headings in the Store were French, e.g. "Films et TV" but with "English (United States)" at the top I get "Movies & TV". Of course the section headings, callouts, etc. otherwise are still a mixture of your MS Store region (German in my case) and the Windows display language (English in my case).
Why "English (Switzerland)" would result in French... I don't know.
I thought one of the reasons many smaller creators were afraid of it was the publication of their personal information when they register and that leading to potential harassment or if what you are creating is socially spicy it could lead to unwanted attention.
Sadly not from the apps without sideloading modified versions. Not only is the quality absolutely garbage but I also noticed that my brain is susceptible to them and I tend to doomscroll if I ever land there. I really try so hard to excise all the short form content stuff from my life but even with extensions and everything, the web version is not great enough to replace the app completely.
Last time I tried VidCutter it was incredibly slow. So slow that it seemed completely glitched sometimes. It was such an incredibly slow and laggy chore to do anything in the app I could not keep using it.
tbh I struggle to see these incredible promises of the future for AI to evolve the way everyone seems to think. I do see the tool value and the revolution that can have but the feverish talks about AGI and the coming AI apocalypse sound very self-aggrandizing by the people with their careers staked on it to me. Even if there is widespread and horrible societal impact it sounds to me like they are not putting the right people at the helm to work on that.
First I wanted to say client trust is one of the two things I‘d really like to see improved from a security standpoint but I think it‘s the wrong way around. Browsers should establish if they feel they operate in a trustworthy enough environment and decide to not work at all if they don‘t. Having the website initiate this check is a bit strange to me. (The other thing being more MitM and DNS Hijacking protection)
And Switzerland ZertES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZertES - There are not normally various levels of trust with afaik only QES (Qualified Electronic Signature), the highest level to legally be on the same level as a hand signature.
There is not much of an option with step functions, outputs/inputs can be max 256KB so especially if you go into or out of a map/parallel state you can‘t do much more than pass references to the data and not the data itself.
300$/y is a bit much for hobbyist street scanning though... The linked content marketing blog post shows Scaniverse to be nearly as good, so that's nice to know as an alternative.
Absolutely. Other comments here already discuss that. But I think there is discussion to be had about how cash enables certain crimes and what impact that has on us, how cashless can change this and on the other hand how handing full control over our ability to spend money is handed over to the government and what risks are associated with that and what mitigations are possible. Also the state already has many, many ways to make your life hell. How big the impact of this additional way is, also needs to be discussed. I'm pretty sure most people don't store their life savings in cash at home and freezing your bank account has a similar impact now even though cash is still available.
Yes there are other reasons, you lose a lot of control, but there are other comments here already discussing that.
Yes there needs to be such mandates to limit this but it's difficult to anticipate if/when this would happen.
There was such a limit for the older Maestro cards ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maestro_(debit_card) ) (afaik, but I'm not an expert in this domain). I think there the limit was CHF 0.3 per transaction. But you couldn't use them in online shopping or Apple Pay. The new debit cards can be used for that.
I'm Swiss and try to be as cashless as possible but I can absolutely understand people & businesses opposing a completely cashless future under the assumption that the current situation remains.
The fees associated with the current system are exorbitant. Credit cards, as expected, have a pretty high fee of like 2.5% or more for the accepting business and the new Visa/Mastercard debit cards that they force on everyone have even more egregious fees of CHF 0.5 to 0.95 + 1.5% per transaction. Twint (our digital payment app) also has ~1.5% in fees per transaction and the business case of Twint is to farm as much payment data of the customers as possible for analysis and offers/ads.
I do like the convenience of cashless but the cost in fees for businesses and the increased interest in exploiting my transaction history for an ads business sours this a bit for me.
You could get a somewhat managed NextCloud instance on Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share (but it appears that it's not yet available in their US datacenters)
Of course you could also self-host on Hetzner (they do have US datacenters in general, just not every service they offer), which is pretty cheap.
There's also https://www.pikapods.com/ that offers to host it for you in a simplified manner if you don't wont all the server hassle.
I guess in AWS-land the true Serverless DB is DynamoDB or Athena with S3? But I was also a bit disappointed by AuroraV2. Even with the minimal config it's still quite expensive if you expect "Serverless" but compared to the other RDS offerings it seems good (in relation to connection limit and HA).
I normally have 90% scaling on my browser and nearly all of these retro CSS themes have strange glitches on that scaling level. I guess they can't do much about that and it's a combination of styling, font weight and rendering that clash together.
